Lighten your skin in citrus way

Submitted by Kavitha Thomas

Lemon has exfoliating properties: rub half a lemon on your face with a hint of sugar granules to remove dead cells and lighten a tan.

You can also rub on hyper-pigmented areas like elbows to lighten them. Mix with a little cucumber juice to make a natural astringent

Comments By: anon i used this on my knees and it worked!!!!   Question Comments By: Anon does this lighten your skin as in it makes it look whiter? and does it fade away, by meaning you have to apply it every day? Tipking says: I would think that it is something you will need to re-apply   After shower Comments By: A If you rub lemon juice on your skin after showering it does remove dead skin cells.

Dont go out in the sun while its on ur face, then it will literary burn ur face. But other than that, its great!   bit harsh Comments By: anon you are very much wrong when u say "that burning feeling means its working" any product used that gives u the tingling burning feeling means its irritating ur skin n plus lemons contain citric acid which irritate or give u an alergic reaction at the first time of use or over a period of time on sum people also ur skin is slightly acid - pH 5/6 n citric acid as a pH of 2/3 pretty harsh   how long? Comments By: anon how long will it take? how many times must u apply it ?   Is it ok for pimple skinned person????? Comments By: Arya Hi. i have pimples on my face. will this treatment affect my face and will the pimples bleed???
